Puerto Aventuras :: Fishing

Puerto Aventuras is world famous for sports fishing, and for good reason. The good current from the Gulf of Mexico brings in a wide variety of fish, and the reliable Mexican Caribbean weather insures good fishing days year round.

You can snorkel and fish at the same time, which can make for a fun family or group trip. Fish for a while, then stop for a refreshing swim over healthy coral reef teaming with sea life.

Location

One advantage of fishing from Puerto Aventuras is that the fishing spots are all very close to the marina.

This makes for good sightseeing of the coast's white sand Caribbean beaches and fascinating Mayan ruins like Tulum, (plus it is also nice for inexperienced sailors who like to see a bit of land).

Fishing Season

The best fishing season is mid March to the end of June. Anglers can catch sailfish, marlin, dorado/dolphin, tuna and more. Off season, the Captains can take you fishing for sailfish, king mackerel, Spanish mackerel, Dorado/dolphin, and barracuda (especially in July, August and September). If there is no good deep sea fishing for some reason, you might decide to bottom fish for yellow tail snapper, trigger fish or grouper. Fishing Puerto Aventuras Billfish (sailfish and marlin) are caught and then released to avoid depleting the local population.
